University Of Alabama Sorority Elects First Black President

Email this to a friend

For the first time in the history of the University of Alabama’s storied Greek system, a Panhellenic sorority has elected a black president. Hannah Patterson, a 21-year-old Pittsburgh native, was voted president by the ladies of Sigma Delta Tau on November 6th.

The fact that Patterson’s election is news at all is, frankly, unfortunate. This, or any other racial milestone, shouldn’t be a story in 2013, but alas, that is where things stand.

That said, while it would be naive to believe that racism, institutional, de facto, or otherwise, is suddenly dead in the Alabama Greek system (and, to be blunt, in virtually any Greek system in the nation) with this election, it takes a foot to run a mile.

Only time will tell what ripple effects Hannah Patterson’s election will have throughout a campus that prides itself on Old Row. Hopefully, this is a start in the right direction to the day when race won’t matter at all on Alabama’s campus, and the only stories coming from Tuscaloosa that TFM reports on are pertaining to Nick Saban sacrificing the blood of innocent puppies to his master, Lucifer.

Congratulations to Hannah Patterson and the ladies of SDT. Tonight, even the staunchest War Damn Eagle fan should be tipping their caps and yelling, “Roll Tide.”

Hopefully, she does a better job than another President that got elected a couple years ago…one of the worst things we can do is start electing people based on the color of their skin. I’m hoping, for the girl and her sorority’s sake, that she will do well. Diversity for the sake of diversity is silly. If she is going to rep her chapter well, though, who gives a fuck?

Wow Wow Wow WTF did i Just read is TFM promoting the idea that greek organizations (or any organization for that matter) should be proud to have diversity???? Diversity/Multiculturalism is the FUCKING DUMBEST IDEA EVER. Go read Robert Putnam of Harvards study that will show you just how great diversity is. Diversity will be what turns this once great nation into a third world shithole. And to you Auburn fans i dont advise you to yell Roll Tide after reading/hearing about this instead stand up for yourselves and say somehting like “Fuck those n.iggers!”

It doesnt matter if he thinks his research has been twisted, it in every way shows that more diversity leads to weaker communities (Less trust, No carpooling, less volunterring, less donations to charity, less trust in local govt, etc.) Also his goal the entire time was to prove multiculturalism was a positive thing and when he couldnt he delayed releasing the results for a few years. So he knew that diversity was bad before anyone “twisted” anything. And there are far more studies than his to prove the same point.

Hahaha yeah Frat Doucher youre so much more intelligent than I am arent you? If you knew what the fuck you were talking about you would know race goes further than pigmentation, races differ in practically everything. Nice job quoting your hero MLK. I agree let us judge them by the content of their character heres a video for you to help you do that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jbDqCZEXnw&feature=youtu.be

This article is promoting diversity simply for diversity’s sake, but rather looking at people on not the color of their skin, but the content of their character. Great last line, by the way. You sound quite intelligent.
